SUPREME IN CHINA

Supreme, the New York-based cult skate brand, opened its first store in China on Friday. The 11,000-square-foot, two-story store is Supreme’s 17th in the world and the largest to date.

A micro-neighborhood known for its vibrant youth culture scene lies at the corner of Changle Road and Fumin Road, home to the Supreme store.

Jordan and his team spent most of their time in China scouting skate spots, meeting the right people, and recruiting casts of characters to run the shop from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

At the entrance of the store, shoppers are greeted by two Mark Gonzales sculptures, one of which is a full-size F1 race car. Above the main wall, a mural by Brooklyn-based artist Josh Smith features a vibrant painting with Goth-like features. In 2022, the artist collaborated with Givenchy. Continue reading

SILHOUETTE THE SHADOW BUREAU

The name means “Projected shadow of something or someone, the shape and contours of which stand out clearly against a background.”

2024 is a big year for Silhouette. As the Austria-based eyewear company celebrates its 60th anniversary. The family business continues to intrigue demanding consumers with its permanent commitment to excellence and sustainability through innovative, comfortable and quality lenses, but for the latter our boss at Canal-luxe was screaming not to be able to have them repaired.

Providing astronauts with reliable vision in space for nearly 25 years, these glasses were revolutionary in the eyewear industry with their near-lightweight, rimless design and endless customizable options.

DRIES VAN NOTEN STEPPING DOWN

A search for a successor to Dries Van Noten has quietly begun in recent months, marking the end of an era.

The acclaimed Belgian designer is stepping down in June after nearly four decades in fashion. During Paris Fashion Week, his last show will be his men’s show for the spring 2025 season.

A new designer will be announced in due time, Van Noten said in a statement to us “I have been preparing for this moment for a while, and I feel it’s time to leave room for a new generation of talents to bring their vision to the brand.”

Synonymous with ravishing colors, striking prints and dignified dressing tinged with exotic details, Van Noten forged a succession roadmap when he sold a majority stake in his Antwerp-based house to Puig in 2018. We wish him a happy retirement

HERMÈS THE RAIN PASSAGER

The face of the sky is gray, the ground shimmers in the rain, a dark rain that falls from the ceiling as if to illuminate fashion. Unquestionably the cuts, which appear, are perfectly executed, and even if the leather is not worn in the rain, we have a collection as a whole that flirts with luxury. Continue reading

YSL DIFFRACTION OF FASHION

The “Transparences” exhibition currently taking place at the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Paris is recording record attendance, a funny coincidence. On Tuesday evening, Anthony Vaccarello, constructed almost his entire fall collection with flimsy silk hosiery fabrics, which he said were a nightmare to produce.

Saint Laurent via a sensual nude outfit, while exalting the master’s legacy of transgression, liberation and empowerment of women. The models’ heads were covered in bonnets and their wrists covered with large transparent bracelets, as well as jewelry on their backs.

Vaccarello said he had the idea for this pure extravagance before the YSL museum revealed the theme of its spring exhibition, sure!. But I think it’s good that there is this link with the foundation also to make it clear that here it is also a house of transparency. Really very, very transparent in fact.

GIORGIO ARMANI BLACK AND FLOWERS

‘Black is an amazing color. Women look more beautiful in black than in any other shade,’ said Giorgio Armani.

The inky shade appeared on a boxy jacket with an oversize pocket and a velvet mandarin collar; a floor-length coat dotted with blue petals; and a tailored suit covered in silvery crystals.

KIM SHUI NY 2024

When Kim Shui graduated from Duke University with a degree in economics in 2011, she didn’t intend to become a fashion designer, and that sounds like a former plumber wanting to become a digestive tract surgeon. This is the meeting of the Bling dynasty and US-trash on Roosevelt Avenue, that of sex workers. Two muses, dressed in gold nightgowns, appeared and came to the center of the stage to show off fashion so Putinist.

DONNA KARAN FRAGRANCE

The brand just relaunched its fashion business, and now it is launching a new fragrance collection. A quartet of eau de parfums dubbed the Cashmere Collection will be available at Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Macy’s and Dillard’s this month. Each scent is priced at $150.

It coincides with the relaunch of Donna Karan New York earlier this week, and is the first pillar introduced by licensee Inter Parfums Inc. The brand was previously under the Estée Lauder Cos.

Despite playing on the success of Cashmere Mist, one of the brand’s bestsellers, Inter Parfums didn’t want to debut the new collection as a flanker.

It was Madar’s goal to create a sense of warmth and layering when developing the scents.
